A suggestion was made on Aeclectic that, as part of our PDR, several of us would use the same spread for our weekly reading. The chosen spread was the Light and Shadow spread.  It is a 5-card spread, excellent for use as a general reading.  1. Significator – Elementor of Lotus: I chose this card, [...]

Well…this spread proved to be dead-on! The storm that was brewing on Friday lessened slightly today (although the weather was dark, cloudy, cold and wet…the first lousy weather here in 74 days).  The blow up actually happened twice…a big one last Friday, and a lesser one today (two different people).  The person who had the [...]

This week’s reading uses Eshantie’s Three Card Spread (from  Aeclectic).  My question: What do I need to know or be aware of today or tomorrow? 1.  The answer: Apprentice of Feathers – Some drama seems to be brewing in the darkening sky. The funnel cloud from above is creating a vortex below. Four groups of [...]

Having visited the Meetup website, a friend and I were amazed to discover over 100 people waiting for someone to start a Tarot Meetup group in our area. She is very interested in getting something going; I’m still pondering it (since I already co-facilitate our small Tarot Circle, although some new blood would be welcome…) I [...]

When Martien and Teressena Bakens (creators of the Fifth Tarot) contacted me to enlist my help in setting up their experiential workshop here, I was only too happy to help.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius…”  (Aquarius from Hair, by Gerome Ragni and James Rado) In the late 1960s, the Broadway musical Hair popularized the above in the [...]

There are a few ways to determine one’s Tarot birth cards, and I won’t go into all of them here. I have played around with them, and prefer Mary Greer’s system, as outlined in her book Tarot for Yourself  (it also correlates with my favorite book on numerology, Dan Millman’s The Life You Were Born [...]

This is a reading we did at yesterday’s Tarot Circle, combining Tarot with an oracle. We pulled a focus card from Caroline Myss’ Wisdom for Healing deck, then laid a Tarot spread around it. My focus card was Take Steps to Get Healthy – perfect choice. My doctor wants me to exercise more, and I [...]

We’ve reached the home stretch of the first Mercury Rx of the year. I thought I would do a short spread, asking 2 questions. Here are the results… 1. What do I need to reflect on during Mercury Rx?      Nine of Lotus (Transcendence) – This is the 2nd time this card has appeared [...]

  For this spread, I tweaked thorhammer’s “Daily” spread, to be able to look back upon the week. As I have just embarked on a new project, this reading is very revealing. I have used the Fifth Tarot. 1: What did I do well this week?       Seeker of Stones – The card depicts [...]
